"The roots of the present lie deep In the past, and nothing in the past is dead to the man who would learn how the present comes to he what it is." PROF. W. STCBBS, Oxford, Eng. PREFACE. It is said that few persons read a preface ; but it is sometimes a relief to an author, to open his heart and say a few words to the few who are interested in the subject to which he has given so much anxious thought and protracted labor. If we naturally prefer to receive, ourselves, the credit for any supposed preeminence we have attained, still I presume we all feel some pride of birth ; and most of us are willing to admit that for this preeminence we are in some measure indebted to those who have gone before us. We cannot deny that physical health as well as dis ease is often hereditary, and mental and moral traits seem to be inherited. Still it is sad to see that so many seem willing to forget their progenitors as soon as they are put under ground. They will not be willing to hear it said that their forefathers were mean men, and their foremoth- ers worthless women. They may contribute to erect over their ashes marble slabs or granite columns, containing the brief inscriptions that will be seen and read by few of the relatives, but will grudge a single dollar needed to prepare printed records that will be preserved on hundreds of pages, and be read by thousands of the friends and relatives, and be easily consulted for centuries to come. Does not every man like to have us believe that he comes of good blood, of a stock, in some respects, above the av- (iii) IV PREFACE. erage of humanity? And yet, when this is true, how many are willing to spend the time and means necessary to prove this fact, and perpetuate the memory of it ? Whatever attainments we have made by our own en ergy and industry, it will be hard to prove that we are in debted to none of our predecessors for the energy and the opportunities which have enabled us to make these acqui sitions. Thousands have died in obscurity who, had they inherited the health, the mental vigor, and the opportuni ties for improvement which we have enjoyed, might have surpassed us. It is not strictly true that "circumstances make the man ;" but it must be admitted that they must afford him the means to make himself or he will never become a man. When we are tempted to despise,the wisdom of the past, and to imagine that we, alone, are to be credited with the rich results of "advanced thought" it will be well to re member the words of the apostle who died 1800 years ago. "Who maketh thee to differ? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive ? But if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory as if thou hadst not received it?" (1 Cor. 4:7, Revised version.) By birth we inherit not only brains, and a natural incli nation to use them, but many advantages of social surround ings which ought to enable us to rise above those from whom we have inherited these possessions. If we stand on the shoulders of other men, ought we not to see farther than they ? If we do not, we must have become very short sighted. It is reasonable that we should feel some pleasure in the thought that much of what men see in us worthy of com mendation may be inherited from worthy ancestors. And if we have no interest in preserving the records and per petuating the memory of our worthy ancestors, may not PREFACE, V others suspect that our reputation will suffer in comparison with the reputation of those from whom we are descended ? If some families degenerate and die out, and others leave to their offspring no precepts nor examples to kindle as pirations for pure principles and noble characters, still the descendants ofthe unworthy and unfortunate do sometimes learn to avoid those habits and control those passions which tend to degrade our better nature, and to shun the paths which led their fathers astray. The true man will not fail to profit by knowing the his tory of his ancestors. If any of them have been swept away from the right course, and been shipwrecked, he will receive an impressive lesson, teaching him to avoid the shoals and the rocks upon which they were driven. If, on the other hand, they have been persons of intelligence and true worth, shining as lights in a dark world, he will find the path of duty brighter and more pleasant when il lumined by the light of their principles and their practice.

When several children are born in one place the name of the town is given with the first, and not repeated with the name of each child. 3. Dates, before 1752 are in Old Style; and when double dates are given, from January 1 to March 25, 1 use the last figure to indicate the historical, in preference to the civil and ecclesiastical year, which be gan March 25. When during, that period, I find only one date, the year is uncertain, and we may find in diflferent records that a different year is named. 4. Abbreviations: abt., about; te., aged; b.,born; bapt., baptized; ch., children; d., died; dau., daughter; m., married; unm., unmar ried; rem., removed; res., residence or resided; s., son; w., wife; s. p. {sine prole) without issue. 5. The small index figure, at the right of a name denotes the gener ation of the person, dating from Leonard Weeks the emigrant from England. 6. The families are numbered in order, and large figures, at the left of a name, refer to the number of that person's family on following pages. 7. The children of a family are numbered by Roman numerals i, ii, lii, etc. These numbers are not always in the same order as their births. The grandchildren are numbered by Arabic figures, 1, 2, 3, etc. The great grandchildren by figures, in parentheses, as (1), (2), (3), etc. The great great grandchildren by letters in parentheses as (a), (6), (c), etc. 8. The names of children that died young are often omitted in the index. 9. Passages, enclosed in brackets followed by an interrogation point [ ] ? are doubtful. 10. In spelling I usually follow the briefest and latest form, spelling those names among the earlier generations as I suppose they wrote their own names. 11. Many families would have received more extended notice if I had received their records in season. After completing the main body of the work, one cannot introduce much new material without disarrang ing what he has carefully put in its place. * These explanations refer mainly to the body of the work. (vi) THE WEEKS FAMILY IN ENGLAND. Few of the families of early settlers in New England are able to trace back their pedigrees, with much confi dence, into the period before their ancestors left Europe. The tradition, among the descendants of Leonard Weeks, has been that he emigrated from Wells, in Somersetshire, England ; and of course that he was born not far from Wells. Though tradition has often proved to be unreli able, it seems that in this case it deserves much credit. If Leonard Weeks knew the name of the place from which he started, when he left the old world, for Amer ica, his children could not be ignorant of it ; and there is no good reason why it should have been concealed from his grandchildren, born in the place where he lived over fifty years. His grandson Dr. John Weeks, of Greenland, visited England to complete his education, and different mem bers of John's family visited England at different times. Is it reasonable to suppose they knew nothing of the place from which their ancestors came, only one hundred years before ? Dr. John Weeks, whose father was one of Leonard Weeks' favorite sons, was the grandfather of Hon. John Wingate Weeks and of my mother. It is hard to believe that he left his children ignorant of his grandfath er's birth-place. There was a large family of the name Weeks, in Devon shire, England, and quite a number of them emigrated to (vii) Vlll THE WEEKS FAMILY IN ENGLAND. America ; but we are unable to find any evidence that they were nearly related to Leonard "Weeks. It seems probable that Leonard's father died in England and that he had in this country no brothers nor sisters, unless Wil liam Weeks of Kittery, Maine, a few years older than Leonard, was his brother. Note. — I am very confident that Hon. John W. "Weeks, was correct in the statement that Leonard, his ancestor, came from Wells, Somerset County, England, for he was born near the homestead which still remains in possession of Leonard's descendants, and Leonard died less than seventy-five years before his birth. I knew this man, and his father Captain John Weeks, who lived several years, near his grandfather, Captain Joshua, a son of Leonard ; and I do not see how they could have been deceived. I have been earnestly requested to furnish for this vol ume, the coat of arms of our family, and would gladly do so, if any body would help me find it. My inquiries in America, and in England, have all been very unsatis factory. Mr. Paynton gives me the arms of one family, named Wykes, as follows : "Argent a chevron gules between 3 crosses fleurine sa ble." But I doubt if it belonged to our family. A genealogist, Mr. T. C. Noble, Dalston, London S. W., England, says, in a letter dated, April 11 , 1887, "The Weeks' family in the west of England was a very large one, in its various branches, with various forms of spelling, in Somerset, Gloucester, Wiltshire and Devon." "Eespect- ing the Weeks of Devon, a lively controversy occurred, a short time ago, between Joseph Foster, editor of the Peerage, a Mr. Ellis and Burke. Ellis compiled a geneal ogy of the Weeks of county Sussex who he declared were descended from the Weeks of Devon, and bore the same arms. But Foster denied that the family were so de- THE WEEKS FAMILY IN ENGLAND. ix scended, and certainly not entitled to the shield. The dis pute is not yet settled." Inquiries at other sources in London have met with no better success. Examining the Parish Eegister of Wells, Chew Magna, Compton Martin and vicinity, Somerset County, England, from 1573 to 1680, more than fifty entries are found of baptisms, marriages and burials, of members ofthe Weeks' family. The Christian names are often the same as we find in the families of Leonard the emigrant, and his sons, in Greenland. The surnames of the same persons are spelled differently in different entries, viz. : Week, Weeks, Wick, Wyke, Wickse, Weekse, etc. Sometimes we find two names, one an alias, e. g. : In 1619 is a record of the burial of "Thomas Weeks, alias Collins," who is supposed to have been a son of William and An (Weeks) Collins, married in 1500, who took the name of his mother in preference to that of his father. So the father of John Folsom born in Hingham, England, once signed his name "Adam Foulsam, alias Smith." By the kindness of A. M. Haines, Esq. of Galena, 111. I have the following letter : "Kelston, Eng., 16 Oct., 1886. Dear Mr. Haines : I write expressly for the purpose of sending you the following entry, from Compton Martin Register, with which I think you will be highly pleased, and perhaps many more in the U. S. A. "Baptized, — 1639 Aug. 7, Leonard, son of John and Anne Wyke of Moreton." [Moreton is in the parish of Compton Martin.] "Sincerely yours, Francis J. Paynton." [Moreton and Chew Magua are on the little river, Chew, which comes from the Mendip Hills, Somerset County, and enters the Avon, at Keynesham, seven and one-half miles from Bath.

According to their testimony, in court, Wil liam was a few years older than Leonard. William is supposed to have been the father of Nicholas and Joseph Weeks, the families among the early settlers of Kittery in Maine. If this is correct, it will be seen that Leonard Weeks named his first sou John, after his own father, and his second son Samuel after the father of his wife. Two of his daughters, Sarah and Margaret were named, one for his aunt and the other for a relative in New England. NOTE. Hon. John Wingate Weeks of Lancaster, born in Green- laud, 1781, spent much time investigating the history of the origin of his father's family, corresponding with oth ers who remained on the ground originally occupied by Leonard the emigrant. He left a manuscript in the form of a family tree which contains some of the valuable results of his studies. If I could have had access to this work ten years earlier, it would have saved me a great amount of hard work. As it is, it now confirms the records which I had collected by my own independent researches. It is a document too valuable to be omitted in a his tory of this branch of the Weeks family, and I have there fore copied it in a more compact form, making some slight corrections and additions which the author failed to obtain, or, perhaps, which he had not room to include in his plan. Kobert D. Weeks of Newark, N. J., has, at great expense of labor and money, prepared a genealogy of the family of George Weeks of Dorchester, Mass., including notices of Thomas of Huntington, L. I., and of Nathaniel of Falmouth and Hard wick, Mass. ; but we have not learned that Leonard was related to any of them, or any others whw emigrated from England, unless William of Kittery was a relative. Fold out LEONARD WEEKS AND FAMILY. The name Weeks* is said to have been a Devonshire name of Saxon origin ; but it was also common in parts of Somersetshire. f Tradition says that Leonard came lrom Wells, in that county. The parish records of Compton Martin contain the name of Leonard Wyke, bapt. 1639, and his brother William about two years earlier, sons of John Wyke of Moreton, which is in that parish. :f We know nothing more of the father of Leonard, nor of the time when Leonard landed in America. His name appears first as witness to a bond in York County, Me., 6 Dec. 1655, and next in the Portsmouth Records, 29 June, 1656, when he received a grant of eight acres of land, in Portsmouth. ["When he first went to the part of Ports mouth now called Greenland, he lived one year on a farm owned byCapt. Champernoou."— A.M.H.J. July 5, 1660, he received grants, of 44 acres, of 34 acres and 10 acres of * In the old records the name is spelled in many different ways, as Wick, Wicks, Wyke, Weicke, Weaks, Weekse, Weekes, etc. T Wells, Somerset County, England, fifteen miles southwest of Bath, is an ancient city, beautifully situated at the foot of the Mendip bills with extensive and fertile meadows on the south, east and west. It is said to have received its name from a remarkable spring, called St. Andrews' well. Its cathedral, a Btately pile, 381 feet long by 131 feet wide, with a tower 178 feet high, is a beautiful edifice, com menced in A. D. 704 and enlarged in 1138. The bishop's palace, founded in 1088, is surrounded by a wall and a moat, abundantly supplied with water from St. An drews' well. The city is small, neat and clean, with water flowing through its principal streets. The population in 1872 was 4,518. There must have been a great contrast between this city and the forests of Green land, where Leonard Weeks toiled so hard and endured so much to secure com fortable homes for himself and his descendants. | Moreton and Chew Magna are on the little river Chew which comes from the Mendip Hills, Somerset County, and enters the Avon, at Keynsham, seven and one- half miles from Bath. The Avon rises in Wiltshire, and flows into Bristol Channel. —A. M. HAINES. (1) 2 LEONARD WEEKS AND FAMILY. land. In February 1660-61, he had settled at Winnicut river, now in Greenland, where he spent the remainder of his life, dying in 1707. In June, 1682, Leonard Weeks testified that"20yrs. ago, he put his horse into his father Redman's pas ture, by leave & license of sd. father Redman," "which pasture joineth to the east end of ye planting of lot of John Redman Jr." John Redman, sen., is named, about the same time. From this it seems that he may have married, first, a daughter of John Redman, sen., or more probably his widowed mother may have married John Redman, sen. , who is said to have come from the same vicinity, and set tled in Hampton, not far from the place occupied by Leon ard Weeks. In 1667, he had married Mary, daughter of Deacon Sam uel Haines of Portsmouth, his neighbor. She was the mother of six children. During the political contest in 1665 respecting the sep aration of New Hampshire from Massachusetts, "Leonard Weeks stood for Massachusetts rather than for the crown." We find in the court records, 1660, 4th mo. 26. "Leonard Weeks, for swearing by God and calling John Hall of Greenland, ould dog, & ould slave, & that he would knock him in ye head," fined "10 shillings for swearing, & to have an admonition for his reviling and threatening speeches, & fees of court, 3 shillings." In the year following, he was elected one of the select men of Portsmouth. He was afterwards constable and for several years sheriff. In 1669, he "was on a committee" with men from Dover and Hampton, "to lay out the highway between Greenland & Bloody Poynt." His seat in the church, at Portsmouth, was No. 4 in front of the pulpit. LEONARD WEEKS AND FAMILY. 3 After quietly occupying for more than twenty years the lands he had purchased, he was called into court to resist the claims of some heirs who hoped to eject him on the ground of a defective title. I find records of four deeds, made on 23 April, 1706, and acknowledged 15 May, 1706, probably instead of a will, in which he conveys to his four younger sons, Sam uel, Joseph, Joshua and Jonathan, his lands, retaining possession himself during life and making also some pro vision for the elder son John, and for his now wife Eliza beth and three daughters, Mary, Margaret and Sarah (see Appendix, Note i). He died before March 1707-8 (see Appendix, Note n) ; but much of the land he owned in Greenland has remained in the possession of his descend ants till the present day. It seems reasonable that his descendants should feel an interest in the history of the persons from whom they have inherited not only their names and their blood, but many of them their homes and a portion of their personal property. Leonard Weeks of Greenland in Portsmouth and his wife Mary (Haines) had born in Greenland* Children : (2) i John,2 b. 14 June, 1668, who d. before Feb., 1711-12. lie is supposed to have had three or more children. (3) ii Capt. Samuel,2 b. H Dec, 1670, a farmer residing on the homestead. He m. Elinor, dan. of Samuel Haines, jr.,f of Greenland, b. 23 Aug., 1675, who hadseven children, and d. 19 Nov., 1736. He was a man of intelligence, wealth, energy and influence, in the church and in the town. He is said to have built about 1710, the brick house which gave name to * Greenland, apart of Portsmouth, was incorporated in 1703. In 1705, there were three hundred and twenty inhabitants. The church was organized in 1706, and Rev. William Allen, their first pastor ordained in 1707, from whose records, printed in N. E. Hist. Geneal. Register, I have obtained much aid in preparing this volume. They were found and printed by Wm. P. Haines, Biddeford, Me. t See Appendix, Haines Family. 4 LEONARD WEEKS AND FAMILY. his branch of the family called "The Brick House Family" as distinguished from the "Bay Side Family," which de scended from his brother Joshua. The same house is now occupied by Robert B. Weeks, one of his descendants. He d. 26 March, 1746, SB. 75. In his will, proved 30 April,. 1746, he left his house to his son, Walter, and a bequest to his daughter, Mary, wife of Paul Chapman (see Appendix, Note m; also "The Chap man Family " in Appendix). (4) iii Joseph Weeks,2 b. 11 March, 1672; was a cordwainer in Greenland. He m. Hannah and had four or more children. He joined the church in 1723, and died 27 Nov., 1735. His son Jedediah was appointed administrator and Samuel Chapman was, with others, appointed to appraise the estate. (6) iv Capt. Joshua,2 b. 30 June, 1674; d. 13 June, 1758, se. 84. He m. , in Boston, Nov., 1699, Comfort (sister oi Thomas) Hubbard. Her brother was treasurer of Harvard College and a wealthy Christian merchant of Boston. They re sided at the Bay Side, and had ten children born on the place, now occupied by their descendants, the heirs ofthe late Deacon Wm. Weeks. She died 20 March, 1756. He joined the church in May, 1735, at the same time with Joshua Weeks, tertius ; but he was offended when his son, Dr. John, became a follower of Whitfield. It appears from his will that he did not, however, lose confidence in the Doctor's ability and honesty (see Appendix, Note iv). v Mary,2 b. 19 July, 1676 ; m. Lieut.

It is said that his nephew Jonathan, son of John, cared for him in his old age and was to receive a part of his estate, in return for his service. The uncle delayed making the change in his will till his last sickness, and then his wife gave him a dose that so affected him that he died without completing the change. The two younger chil dren of Leonard are said to have been twins and daughters of the second wife Elizabeth. vii Margaret,2b. 4 June, 1679, is supposed to have m.

"Nov. ye 24, 1708, — at Meeting of ye selectmen, pursuant a town order, at last gen'll Town Meeting [in March]. In answare to what Samuel Weickes proposed, at sd. Meeting, for ye exchange of twentey acors of lande, granted by sd. town to his father, Leonard Weekes, deceased &c" The Selectmen of Portsmouth ordered to "exchange 16 acres on the East of WinuicutRiver for 20 acres West of it at the request of Sam uel, son of Leonard Weeks dec'd. This land had been granted to Leonard Weeks." — A. M. H. Ten years after this, Sam'l Weeks, eldest son of Leonard, was ap pointed administrator upon a part ofthe estate not divided, and Sam uel Chapman, commissioner, to "examine claims &c due from the estate," which were settled according to the law as we learn from the Probate Records. NOTE III. THE OLD BRICK HOUSE. It stands on the Weeks place, a little West of the Parade, in Green land. It is over 36 feet long, 22 feet wide, and the walls of the lower story are 18 inches thick. The bricks in the front wall are of different colors laid in order so as to appear something like the spots on a checker board. There was a rent in the walls, at each end of the 120 APPENDIX. house, supposed to have been made by the great earthquake, in 1755. But the walls are now covered by cement, which covers the rent. The lower story is 8 feet and 6 inches high. The second story is 8 feet, and the steep pitch of the roof affords ample room for the attic. The windows were originally of small, diamond-shaped glass, set in lead ; but have been changed to a later style. The timbers are hard wood, — oaken beams, hewn 12 X 14 indies, and the sleepers of red oak, with bark still on, about 10 inches in diameter. It is supposed that one object in erecting, at that early period, a house so expensive, was to provide more security from the attacks of the Indians. Some twenty years before this was built, Samuel Haines, jr., a brother to the wife of Leonard Weeks, had erected a garrison house not far from this place. There has been much discussion about the date when this house was built, and the question is not yet posi tively decided. About 1873, Enoch H. Clark, an aged citizen of Greenland, said, " The owners of the Brick House, told me, it was built by Leonard Weeks' son. As their father told me, it would be, in 1873, 160 to 170 years old." Tradition says, that a committee from Newmarket visited Green land, to examine this house before erecting one of the same pattern for Jeremiah Folsom, on an eminence half a mile south of Newmarket village. It was not quite so large as the Weeks' house, and was taken down after standing about one hundred and sixty years. The granddaughter of the builder told me that her father, Col. Jer emiah Folsom, was born in that house before the workmen had fin ished the roof. He was born 25 July, 1719. If Leonard Weeks had built the house, he would probably have given some intimation of it, in describing the property, houses and lands, which he conveyed to his children in 1706; but there is no allusion to it. The conclusion most probable is that his son, Capt. Sam'l Weeks, who inherited the homestead, finding the old house insufficient to ac commodate the stepmother and his two unmarried sisters, together with his own large and growing family, erected this house about the year 1710 or 1712, and that in 1890 it will be about one hundred and eighty years old. J. C. NOTE IV. The settlement of the estate of Joshua Weeks, jr., was an occasion of much trouble between two families. Old Capt. Joshua Weeks seems to have been a quiet farmer with ten children, who was not often noticed in the Court Records. But his old est son Joshua, jr., married Sarah the daughter of Richard Jenness, a lawyer, and died soon. Nine days after his death, the widow removed back to Rye, the home of her father, taking (it is to be supposed) her property with her. One year afterward she was appointed adminis tratrix upon the estate of her late husband and showed the apprais ers property which they estimated at £411-lls. But as he had received no title to the house and lands where he lived, and most of the stock on the place came from his father's, only £91-lls. were allowed upon that £411— lis. Two years and a half after her husband's death, the widow had her father-in-law, Capt. Joshua Weeks, cited to appear in court at Ports- APPENDIX. 121 mouth, and declare upon oath, if he had not in his possession, some of the goods of his deceased son. He appeared ; but found it rather hard to tell what had become of all the old clothes, shoes and stockings, etc, of this son who had gone out from home four years before to set up housekeeping for himself. I have copied a few specimens of the questions put to the old man. 1. About five suits of clothes. He could not tell, 24 yrs. after the death of his son, how many suits of clothes he had. He knew noth ing of the 8 pairs of stockings which he was charged with taking. Knew nothing of the two pairs of shoes. As to the two pairs of boots, he remembered "only one pair pretty much worn — nothing of the three pairs of gloves." Of the three hats, "he knows only one about half worn." He says he has the bedstead & feather bed ; but they were his own " lent to his son." " Of the Blankets & coverlets," he ' 'can't say." " Of the 40 bushels of corn, he says, there were not more than teu which was his own & he took it." " As to the 4 bushels of wheat & 4 bush, barley, he knows nothing." As to the 8 barrels of sy- der, he knows only three, & these were his own." "The oxen, cowes horse & sheep were his own, taken there to winter, his son to have the use of them for looking after them." " There was an old sled, & he took it. The hoes & axes, he knows nothing of— the scythe re mains where it was when his son died, & he supposes the meal chest is where it was." "The six cords of wood was about four cords, be longing to the intestate and his brother," etc, etc Nearly three years after the death of her husband the widow re membered enough more of his wearing apparel to have another inven tory appraised at £57-2s. which was allowed and paid to her. She was not satisfied, but the next year brought suit against her father-in-law, for a large amount of damages, and the sturdy old cap tain, being only a farmer, perplexed with the cares of a large estate and a great family, had a small chance in a contest with the smart young widow, her brother Richard, law student, and the wily old law yer, her father. They secured a verdict of £160 and costs of court, £3-lls.-6, which the sheriff collected, and she acknowledged at the settlement of the estate. Twelve years afterward the captain made his will and bequeathed a large amount of property to his other children and grandchildren, and twenty shillings in full to the son of the widow in Rye. After all their Contention and legal skill, in extorting £160 from Captain Weeks, it is probable that if they had made a peaceable settlement in the beginning they might have fared much better in the end.

Goss his mark A true copy attest Andrew J. Brown Register NOTE V. REV. SAMUEL WEEKS the first settled minister in Parsonsfield, Me., in the midst of his usefulness, was iu one night crippled and unfit ted for labor in the great and destitute field where he had been located. Iu the cold winter weather, he left his home, having been called to solemnize a marriage, in Effingham or Porter. After this ministerial duty, he left the place, intending to visit in Hiram ; but a blinding storm arose, and he was unable to find his way through the forest by the spotted trees till night set in, and he had no hope of reaching any human habitation till morning. He well knew that if he ceased to ex ercise, he would perish, with the cold ; and so continued his walk, in a circle, round some trees, through the long night. In the morning his cries for help brought to his aid some persons from a house not fardis- tant from the spot where he passed the night. He was so badly frozen, that parts of his feet were amputated ; and the whole nervous system had received a shock from which he never recovered. Though he sur vived this terrible experience for thirty years, he remained an invalid, confined mostly to his house, seeming to have lost his interest in the world and its affairs, spending his days alone, sitting, with his Bible on his knees, in study and meditation. By the fearful exposure, he en- dured in that one cold night, his large family were deprived of the care of a fond father, and a large parish was deprived of the services of its pastor. APPENDIX. 125 NOTE VI. REV. JOSHUA W. WEEKS AND REV. JACOB BAILEY DIED IN BANISHMENT. If we knew all the circumstances, we should be compelled to admit that the preachers in the Episcopal churches, at the time of the Dec laration of Independence, deserved more sympathy and less censure than they have received. Most of them had from childhood been trained up to believe that theirs was the only true church and that the king of England was the head of the church. They had been accus tomed to pray for the king, in the sacred language of the Prayer Book, and to alter it seemed like an alteration of the Holy Bible. Besides, they had been supported by the government, and it seemed ungrateful to rebel against those from whom they had so long received their bread. The government expected that the pastors, dependent upon its bounty, would use all their influence to hold their flocks in subjec tion to the king of England. There were spies watching these preach ers, and if anything was uttered, in sermons, prayers or private con versation, which showed any sympathy for the rebels, it was reported to the rulers. If they felt any desire for the independence of the col onies, they could indulge no hope that these few and poor people of the colonies could ever succeed in a war against the most powerful nation in the world. It is hard for us, at this day, to fully appreciate their trials. It was a gloomy prospect for the poor preacher, with a large family, to be shut out from the parish over which he had been placed, and to be deprived of the small stipend he had received from the government to which he had trusted for support. They doubtless believed that the government under which they lived was " ordained of God, "and that it was a Christian duty for every man to live in subjection " to the higher powers." It was hard for many good men to believe that the political opinions, imported from France, were not inseparably connected with the infidel ideas of Thomas Paine and his associates, that no man owes auy allegiance to the King of kings. They dreaded to see the government of England exchanged for the government of a rabble. NOTE VII. When the Duke of Kent, a son of George III, and the father of Queen Victoria, was commander of the English forces in Nova Scotia, etc., he visited Annapolis, where Rev. J. Bailey was rector of the church. Among those who came to bid him welcome was a company of lads one of whom attracted his special attention. Upon inquiring his name he learned that it was Charles Percy Bailey, a son ofthe rector ofthe little church in the place; and he found it not difficult to persuade the father to allow him to take the youth under his own special care. So Charles P. Bailey was taken to England, placed in the military sec retary's office, and subsequently commissioned captain, in (the First Royals) the Duke's own regiment. At the commencement of the war of 1812, this regiment was ordered to Canada, where Capt. C. P. Bai ley was killed on the 5th of July, 1814, in the battle of Chippewa. In this battle Capt. John W. Weeks, a cousiu of Captaiu Bailey, belonged to the 11th U. S. Infantry. General Scott had ordered the attack in Echelon of the 11th in ad- 126 APPENDIX. vance. The colonel, Campbell, was killed early in the battle, and Major McNeal was carried out of his place by his unmanageable horse. This threw a great responsibility upon Captain Weeks. He said that not withstanding the roar of the battle, he heard, at times, a click near his head, and looking up, he saw just above his head, a leaning tree was chipped by the bullets, which led him to say " that means me." He took the feather from his cap which distinguished him from the sol diers, and resumed the duties of his office. The two armies were ap proaching in the bloody conflict, till within a few rods of each other, when the firing slackened and Weeks saw, under the rising smoke, a column ofthe enemy advancing toward the right flank ofthe brigade. He instantly ordered a change of front, and poured volley after volley into the flank of this column, as it came up at quick step, till nearly opposite this regiment, when it faltered. A British captain dashed forward, waving his sword, to lead on his men. At the suggestion of Weeks, Sergeant Clark, standing near raised his gun to his face and instantly that captain fell, and the column broke, the soldiers running for their lives. In the report by the British officers, only one captain was killed in that battle, and he was captain Chas. P. Bailey, an own cousin of Capt. J. W. Weeks. NOTE VIII. A SKETCH OF CAPTAIN JOHN WEEKS. , This communication in the Coos County Democrat, by the Hon. James W. Weeks of Lancaster, may interest your readers in Green land and vicinity. Mrs. Spaulding (Martha Weeks) told me that she was fifteen years old when she rode on horseback from Greenland to Lancaster. Her brother, John Wingate (who was afterwards a mem ber of Congress), a boy of eight, rode on another horse with the bag gage, while his father walked. After a journey of eight days they settled on the border of the meadows in Lancaster, where the family has been one of the most prominent and influential for more than one hundred years. G. o. "Capt. John Weeks was born at Hampton, February 17, 1749. He was descended in the third degree from Leonard Weeks, who was born in Wells, Somersetshire, England, In 1635, came to Portsmouth in 1656. In 1667 he married Mary, daughter, of Deacon Samuel Haines, of Ports mouth. Both families were somewhat notable in England, as they were entitled to. and held armorial bearings. Leonard Weeks was a man of property and influence. He owned real estate iu Portsmouth, and several farms in Greenland, which he, late iu life, deeded to his several sons. Captain Weeks was the sixth child of Dr. John Weeks of Hampton and Martha (Wingate) Weeks, sister of Hon. Payne Wingate. Dr. Weeks died in 1763, when the subject of this sketch was fourteen years old, leaving what was then considered a large prop erty. Tradition says it was designed that he (John) should follow the profession of his father, and his education was commenced ac cordingly. But inheriting what seemed to him a fortune, instead of pursuing his studies and graduating at Harvard, as his older brother had done, he chose to make "long tramps for game up the Kennebec, APPENDIX. 127 and in other directions. In one of these he is said to have visited, in company with two or three others, the Upper Coos region, when he was but sixteen years old. In 1770 he married Deborah, daughter of James Brackett of Greenland. She was an educated lady, and fitted to adorn any station in life. He held a Lieutenant's commission in the Revolutionary army, and his money was freely spent in the cause of his country. In 1787 he came to Lancaster, made his location of land, and returned. In the spring of 1788 he came to Lancaster, with his daughter, Pattie, to keep his house and his son, John Wingate (a boy six years old). They came by the way of Baker's river and the Con necticut, driving their stock. In the fall, Mrs. Weeks and the remain der of the family, accompanied by numerous relatives and friends who were to settle near them, came through the Notch of the White Mountains. She made the jouruey on horseback, bringing her youngest child, seven months old, in her lap, and James B., a boy three years old, riding behind her. "The log house Capt. Weeks built stood at thetopof the bank about fifty rods easterly of the house occupied by the late Wm. D. Weeks. The farm he then commenced has (except for a brief period) re mained in the Weeks family for about one hundred years. Here in his new home the Captain kept open house and entertained "right royally" any who came to the settlement; of course he soon became poor. He was a man of strong, good sense, fair education, of genial presence, and at once took an active part in the affairs of the settlement. In 1788 he was elected by his district, consisting of Lancaster, Northum berland, Stratford, Dartmouth, Cockburn, Colburn and Percy, a dele gate to the convention that ratified the Federal constitution, and was one of the fifty-seven who voted in the affirmative against forty-six in the negative. In 1792 he represented the Coos District in the Gen eral Court. He represented the district at other times, wa« often se lectman and generally moderator of the town meetings. He was an active, honest man, and always ready to lend a hand to aid anything that would benefit the town. He died suddenly at Wakefleld, in 1818, while on his way from Lancaster to Greenland, aged sixty -eight. His wife, who was one of the noble women of her day, died July 5, 1831, aged eighty-two. They had seven children : Martha, Deborah, John Wingate, Elizabeth, James Brackett, Polly Wiggin and Sally Brack ett. They all lived to old age, the earliest death being at sixty-six. All the Captain's children were prominent persons in the communities in which they lived. One Martha (Mrs. Spaulding) died at the age of ninety-nine. Sally (Mrs. Bucknam) still lives at the age of ninety- eight. John W. was an officer in the war of 1812, and served with dis tinction, having been engaged in nearly all the hard fighting on the northern frontier. He was a man of great influence in the northern part of the state, and held most of the offices in the gift of the people, including four years in Congress." THE BAILEY (OE BAYLEY) FAMILY.

Mary Hodgkins, and had children : 1 Bev. Jacob? b. 1731 ; he says " I was born — of honest parents, who, notwithstanding they were extremely industrious, could obtain but a scanty maintenance for themselves & their numerous family." He gives us a gloomy picture of the farmers' sons, in the vicinity of his home, but confesses the generosity of his pastor who kindly encouraged him to study, and offered to instruct him, for a year, without com pensation. Tradition says Dr. John Weeks noticed his lit erary talent, and lent him assistance in completing his education. When the doctor aided in securing his services as principal of the High School in Hampton, it is not prob able that he expected the teacher would marry his daughter Sarah Weeks, one of the younger pupils in the school. But the marriage took place a year before his death. (See No 15-v.) 2 David? b. 1735. 3 Pierce? b. 1738. 4 Amos? b. 1740. 5 John? b. 1741. 6 Nath'l? b. 1743. 7 Eeekiel? b. 1748.

The descendants of Edward Hilton became quite num erous and influential, and still hold a part of the land he owned. Judge John Kelley of Exeter, married Susan 144 APPENDIX. Hilton, and prepared a valuable genealogy of this family, to which I am much indebted for aid in preparing this sketch. William Hilton, brother of Edward,1 came from London to Plymouth in New England, Nov. 11, 1621, and wrote back a glowing account of the condition of the colony and the people. In 1631, he had removed to the settlement of Piscataqua river where his brother Edward lived. He was afterward at Exeter, then in possession of the marshes at Oyster Eiver. In 1645, or soon after, he had removed to Kittery Point. He had a wife and a son William and probably others. In the Historic Genealogic Eegister, Vol. xxxi, p. 179, John T. Hassam, A.M., of Boston, has given a very learned and interesting genealogy of the family of William Hilton. THE HOWE FAMILY (No. 40— iii ) From whom Hon. Nath'l, Hon. John W. and Hon. Timothy O.
